Take a profound threat facing governments, corporations and critical infrastructure; factor in exponential growth rates of online data, mobile devices, and cloud computing; add a new generation of online criminals, political activists, hostile governments and theft of intellectual property; and you have a market with massive investment potential. PE investors are increasingly looking at cybersecurity -- one of America’s new growth industries.

In fact, this is an industry that even has the White House’s stamp of approval -- The President declared last October “National Cyber Security Awareness Month,” and the Department of Homeland Security developed a number of business-targeted initiatives.

The reason is simple -- the Internet was originally built, with a model of trust, by the government for government and academic communities. Today, this original far-from-perfect architecture is being used by billions of people, and simultaneously exploited by criminals, terrorists, political activists and nation states. The more we work online, move data to the cloud, and employ mobile devices, the bigger the threat becomes.

Over the next decade, few marketplaces will be as hot as cybersecurity.

Consider that --

Global spending on cybersecurity by governments and corporations is expected to hit $86 billion by 2016.

There are over 500,000 attacks on corporations globally every day, with America’s leading companies experiencing billions of dollars of intellectual property theft.

With the federal government facing tens of millions of attacks daily, the Pentagon is set to increase its cybersecurity personnel five-fold over the next few years.

The amount of digital information requiring security protocols is expected to rise over 70 times by 2020.

You’ll gain the knowledge to invest successfully when you attend The Capital Roundtable’s BRAND-NEW conference --

“Private Equity Investing in Middle-Market Cybersecurity Companies,”

being held in New York City on Thursday, April 11.

Here are just 5 important reasons you should attend this conference --

Understand what type of companies and services will benefit from the rapid rise in government and corporate IT security spending.

Discriminate between the hype and the reality of who is a cybersecurity company.

Hear why middle-market companies are ideally positioned to benefit from spending on security.

Learn how legislation being proposed in Congress, will affect Corporate America in general, and shape the future of the cyber sector.

This conference features a special fireside chat with Alan Wade, former chief information officer of the Central Intelligence Agency, one of the foremost authorities on the nation's cybersecurity challenges, as well as on the opportunities in the market.

We are also happy to announce that this timely conference will be chaired by Manish Thakur, Managing Partner at Hudson Fairfax Group in New York City. HFG is an independent sponsor specializing in middle-market private equity investments in cybersecurity, intelligence, networks, homeland security and defense.

Manish has lived and worked in New York, London, and Hong Kong for nearly 20 years focusing on defense, technology, telecommunications and satellites. Before founding HFG, he worked at such firms as Merrill Lynch, SG Cowen and HSBC, where his responsibilities included private equity and strategic investments, initial public offerings, and mergers and acquisitions.
